The FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) requires them to investigate and report back at your request.Another poster mentioned corresponding directly with the landlord or whoever made the inquiry leading to the lease.

I've had PMs that sold me the world on the phone, after I followed up with them via email AND voicemail, they couldn't be bothered to return my correspondences (some people prefer one media over another, so make allowances.)

His 'late utility' figure corresponds to his bad math.

One glaring clue is that the e:mail correspondence will be disjointed and feel awkward to read -- spelling will be accurate, but phrasing and sentence structure will not be of the caliber you would expect from a highly-educated professional.Variations on this scam can be very sophisticated: Some operations have "mules" on the ground here in the states, and most of the time these people will not know they are pawns in the scam.

Livonia seems like a low cost to get in market but that corresponds with low rents.

I do not know what the time frame in Illinois is to get major repairs done, but you provided a solution while getting it fixed. you are bound by the lease agreement that you present to them and you both signed along with other tenant laws that you are bound by. as far as the rent, they were planning on not giving you rent for a long time, all this is a way for them to try and justify not giving it to you, make sure you keep all your correspondence and a time table of when you were contacted and when you took care of things just in case a suit does come up, most likely it will not be from them, it will be from you during the eviction process for non payment.

My balances are a tad higher than I normally but I purchased 6 sets of airline tickets for 3 different trips and corresponding hotels.

Sale prices continue to drop in my area, but I've just adjusted my offer prices correspondingly, and have also leveraged the relationships we've built with REO agents.In terms of ROI, it's all over the map, due to several differences among my projects:- Some are financed and some are cash;- Some are quick turn (essentially wholesale deals) and some are held for 3-5 months (major rehabs).

With large crews with reliable paychecks building cookie-cutter plans that are optimized and replicable the volume would drive much of the dominant material costs south along with the corresponding labor costs from the higher-tier subs.

And as @Mark Robertson pointed out, you have argued both sides of this issue, and the side you've taken has always corresponded with your current venture.
